G5V-2-DC5
Overview
The G5V-2-DC5 is a low-signal DPDT (Double Pole Double Throw) relay designed for PCB mounting with 2.54 mm pitch terminals. It features a 5VDC non-latching coil and provides two independent switching circuits within a compact, fully sealed enclosure. This relay is capable of switching loads up to 2 A with a maximum switching voltage of 125VAC or 125VDC.
Why Choose This Part
The DPDT configuration allows for the simultaneous control of two separate circuits, providing a space-saving alternative to using two single-pole relays. Its fully sealed construction allows for automatic soldering and cleaning processes, while the 100 mA coil current is compatible with many standard transistor drivers.
Applications
Key Specifications
Getting Started
To drive this relay from a 5V microcontroller, use a NPN transistor (like a 2N2222) or a MOSFET as a low-side switch. Always include a flyback diode (such as a 1N4148) across the coil pins to protect your circuitry from inductive voltage spikes during turn-off. Ensure your power supply can provide the 100 mA required for the coil when energized.
